all jokes aside, I was cooking a meal I wanted to try when my roommate (who's more experienced in cooking than me) added way too much garlic. It hurt my mouth and the other two roommates and I really didn't like it and couldn't even finish bowl. I think since then I just haven't had the same love for it and it makes me sad.
Funnily enough, there was actually at least one other update for the powerpoint story, but idk if she ever put it in an official update or if it was in the comments. But the guy ended up getting massively made fun of at his job cause one of his coworkers found out about the reddit story and they figured out it was him. So that's pretty funny. His legacy at his job will forever just be the powerpoint guy, and he can't run away from his legacy.
I literally just woke up (European) and I was thinking: "Man, I wish Daniel uploaded", and he did. I immediately made a bowl of cereal to eat while watching this.
The first bf making a whole Powerpoint telling her to 'take a joke' pissed me off sm. That's some immature sibling shit, not behaviour from a grown adult in a commited relationship
It is also a very dumb move, why would you be annoying to your endearing one? Some people never got the memo of how much people love answering questions and demonstrating passions lol
My husband lies, and tells me every meal I cook is the best he's ever had. Even the 1/100 meals I see him visibly struggling, "Nope, honey, it's fantastic." We are very happily married. ♥
I love that for you, but I'd suggest working on improving your cooking skills a little if some of your food has him struggling to eat. If it's not your skills, and just something he doesn't like, maybe try to limit making those specific meals. I'm not suggesting that just so you can "please your man better," I'm suggesting it because he's showing you he cares despite it being something he doesn't like, so you should return the favor. The small things matter in both directions. It sounds like you have a keeper, so making small changes to keep him happy is smart. *I'm so trying not to sound like an azz while writing this, and I'm not sure it's coming off that way. Just know it's meant as friendly advice, not some you need to do better type of spiel.
Nah this is terrible advice, my father does the same with my mother, and guess what? My mother hasn't felt the need to improve in decades. Its pretty much lying to preserve someones potential feelings. The best course is thanking for the meal, saying your honest enjoyement of it, and asking if the cook wants any constructive criticism, politetly. If they don't want to hear criticism then thats fine. Fuck this lying shallo politeness shit. Me and my wife follow this rule for almost anything in our lives, not just cooking, to actually improve and grow. (I do most of the cooking and I'm constantly asking for feedback to improve)
The second story is weird. He says he yelled at his wife but doesn’t report what she said in reply. He’s concerned about this photo but not the last eight years of neglect. Weird.
It's probably just AI generated story to farm reddit karma, it happens a lot on AITA subreddit. People don't even bother to make up their own stories anymore and use ChatGPT to write for them lol
It's probably a thinly veiled admission that he's been observing this behavior for a while now, but just didn't want to ruin his new family life by speaking up; this incident was just the straw that's breaking the camels' back.
I was about to see if anyone said this. Like only now you are concerned? Even tho you’ve been with her for 8yrs? It doesn’t sound like this is a new and sudden change in her behavior so why is it only a problem….now…?
@@lauracapper3807yea that got me thinking too. 0-5 are fundamental years for a persons growth and development to be the best adult version of themselves. to think that this poor child has been neglected for the most important developmental years is just horrible
@@AnsatsuninI made a power point for my parents when I wanted a dog. I was 8 and thought it was hilarious. Have you ever heard the phrase “some people never grow up”. Man-children exist everywhere dude.
I was miffed about having to make powerpoint presentations in my literal InfoTech class in school lmao what would possess someone to make them willingly in their 30s for fun??
@@lizzienora678At that point it went from horrible to ao absurd that I couldn't take it seriously. I almost wish he showed a third presentation after she broke up with him.
I tell my kids that if they think they're funny or having a good time but the other person/people aren't having fun then they are just a bully. It's crazy how many adults didn't realize they were a bully the whole time 😑
I am regularly the only person laughing at my jokes, but that's because I tell really dumb jokes to amuse myself. I'll never understand why some people find cruelty amusing.
Last night I used an entire head of garlic in some chicken. It was not too much, but I didn't cook it for long enough so it was too strong. Next time I do the same recipe (and I will) I will cook the garlic for longer. Edit: The garlic -- I didn't cook the garlic enough. The chicken was done!
6:04 He could have totally made a joke presentation that was poking fun at himself, like "how to put your foot in your mouth" or one of how he fricked up. That would have been funnier and kinder
It's genuinely insane how the first presentation was one of the most unfunny bits I've ever heard of, but the reveal he had a second, even more condescending presentation as a reaction to her inevitable anger towards the first presentation might be, purely timing-wise, one of the most incredible comedic twists I've seen this year.
“Why would you alienate one child?” Umm…bc that’s what abusers do! They typically single out 1, maybe 2 children to direct all their abuse towards. Especially in a step parent/kid situation. That way, the other kids will likely not tell another adult about such abuse, bc it’s not happening to them-they’ll even get the other kids to join in. The stepparent will give all their love & attention to their own kids, but treat the step kids terribly. Even “natural” parents do this with their “natural” children. It’s so mean & destructive to all their psyches .😢
So true. My family was "all natural" (as far as I know) but golden child/scapegoat dynamic is still so real. It's literally the "one child gets a car for Christmas while the other gets a broken toy from Salvation Army" bit. All children deserve loving parents, but not all parents deserve to have children
Very true. This happened to my ex. She was abused in every awful way by her piece of shit dad but she doesn't remember her ever laying a hand on her brother and the ministry somehow decided it was fine to return both kids to them (except her father refused to let her come home after she "betrayed him") so she got out at 15 but he literally broke her capacity to have a healthy, loving relationship. I hope this kid isn't suffering worse than the story indicates but, as someone who has been in therapy for 3 years straight and still finds everything coming back for abandonment/rejection issues, neglect, even emotional, is no joke either. He's my son's age. You know what? She probably hasn't ignored him for 8 years. She probably played with him when he was a "fun age" and op is only seeing this now. That's how it seemed with my step mom. She played with us a lot when we were little but when we were 7 and our little brother was born 🤷
I think there's a healthy difference between having a preference in food and treating a partner like a slave. You can have a preference in food, but you should be wiling to either fulfill it yourself or (if you can't cook) order a take out that both of you will like. Partner who never contributes to cooking or serving meals has no say in their taste imho.
Presentation is wiiiild, just be grateful bro. My friends gf cooked for us and I was literally tearing up over how much spice she put in it but honestly it warmed my heart that she took the time and effort.
My bf accidentally slipped and dropped the jar of chili powder in the chicken and peppers for tacos. He can tolerate a lot of spice, but I have a hypersensitive nervous system and I had tears running down my face..."No, Babe, it wasn't bad! A bit stronger than I'd typically eat, but tasted good!" First meal he cooked for me. He remembered it like two years later and it finally hit him and he asked me, he was like, "Remember that? Ya know, it was even a bit spicy for me, so omg you must've been dying! Why didn't you say something?!" What else was I gonna eat when that was what he had in the freezer and the fridge was empty? No doordash out in the country either. You appreciate what was made for you. Even if it burns.
Re: "this is clearly fake, right?" Nah. People are crazy. Just when you think you've seen it all, somebody will drop that bar lower than it has ever been before. I know. I worked retail for 5 years. I still have nightmares.
Not only is one meal a week dangerously unhealthy, it also won't help you lose weight, your body will actually hold onto whatever fat you've got for dear life
this is what many people dont get about eating disorders. often, the body will even put on weight to desperately hold onto the little energy you give it, before breaking down **everything**. it doesn't just magically dissapear.
@@sandcat2327yeah and it isn't just during the eating disorder either it can be very hard to recover because you slowed down your metabolism to the point that going back can make you gain the weight all back or even gain more. It's not a fix for your weight at all not even temporarily and anorexia is one of the deadliest mental health conditions there is. It's so dangerous for you. I hope that girl finds a healthy way to lose weight and learns to love her body at any size
Just a little advice that helped me loose 20 Ibs: The way to healthily loose weight is to not just eat healthier, but also excersize too. Intermittent fasting helps too. You basically eat for only eight hours a day and fast for 16. You aren't eating less but you are helping your body's metabolism by switching it to burning fat instead of muscle
Yes it's dangerous BUT the idea that sever sustained caloric deficit doesn't lead to weight loss is just untrue - if you maintain activity levels the body WILL break down any fat stores for energy. That's literally the function of fat storage, to use as fuel when food is scarce. The idea that it 'doesn't work' is that it doesn't address the assumed underlying attitudes toward eating and exercise that lead to being overweight in the first place, because MOST people have bad baseline habits and return to those with no change when they hit their goal weight, which undoes the weight loss
12:27 My parents got a divorce when I was 7 and I grew up with 4 amazing parents. I am so lucky that my step parents love me like I am their own flesh and blood, and I cannot even imagine how painful this rejection is. It's very clear she does not want to see him as her child too.
I'm in the four parent club too! Never once did either step parent make me feel like I was any less than their children. I hate to hear how uncommon that is.
Please please PLEASE make a full length version of that “you deserve it all” song at the end. It’s a banger and would be a great song to listen to in order to uplift myself when I feel down.
I once ate garlic chutney (the equivelant of salsa for americans) made by a Kathiawadi family from a rural are, I pooped half a dozen times that night, we make a 'for lesser men' version of it every now and then. 100/10, would recommend
Really glad the last person is in therapy. The "he's really attractive and I'm fat" comment just bums me out. Being fat does not make you unattractive. Fat is not a bad word. Hoping for the best for her in the future. Ugh.
It’s so common dude. Similarly in my life I’ve had women be shocked that I’d be in to them. Well to be honest, most of them are shocked. Not that I’m some Gyllenhaal, it’s just how women are treated most of the time. Even good men have horribly unrealistic standards of beauty, while being delusional about their own. It’s easy to be a hot guy, take care of yourself; exercise, wash your body, keep groomed (hair/beard), use deodorant, cologne, and wear clean clothes. And if you have a job, you’re a catch! Women are expected to be a certain size, dress a certain way, wear a specific amount of makeup (??????), and all because men just can’t live without the ‘perfect woman’. To summarize; we gotta be better.
@@Nffyr From my experience, women aren't too keen on the men whose standards are so low that it's basically "is alive", but that's a whole other thing.
@@Nffyr Seriously, as a makeup free fat lady who hasn't considered herself pretty...ever? Or at least since my high school anorexia days, thank you. Fat women are so marginalized. Even fat men are more accepted in society because they can't cook, they like sweets, or "Hey, he can't help it! Cut him some slack!" "Dad bod" is sexy, but "mom bod?" Ew. Could anyone ever picture someone saying that to a fat woman? "Cut her some slack!" Not happening. Yeah, I'm disabled (chronic pain) and sedentary, but I also have hypothyroidism which makes significant weight loss very difficult if you don't run a marathon a day. I was very active in college, took gym classes and exercised, and was still overweight. And the fact that I felt I had to explain and justify that to you now is crazy. I can't just be what I am, much less who I am. When I was on dating apps I'd have conventionally attractive, fit guys mutually match with me just for them to say, "Yeah, you're fat and ugly. I don't do fat chicks." Bruh, why'd you match with me then? To bully me? So, no, I'm good. I don't need a partner. I have cats, so I'm the "middle aged (spinster) crazy cat lady!" My cats love me, understand how I'm feeling, one even alerts me to oncoming migraines and stays on me purring and sleeping with his head nuzzled into my hand on the worst days, and I didn't train him or anything, and cats don't degrade me or treat me like less than because I'm fat. They don't care! I don't even like using the word fat to describe myself, it's unacceptable! Women have to be called curvy, pleasantly plump, heavy, big beautiful women, etc because we have to be fetishized to be acceptable. Society has deemed that the worst thing a woman can be is fat, and nobody cares if you're kind, caring, sensitive, giving, and someone who loves to make others smile. If you're fat, then none of that matters. It becomes "excuses" for why you being fat is okay. I'm not desirable, I know. Just don't throw it in my face and remind me. Let me live my life in peace. Or that's what I'd like to tell them.
Listen yall, everyone deserves to be in a relationship where their partner is PROUD to be seen with them. My sister looked like a SUPER MODEL but her ex hubby was never willing to acknowledge her as his girlfriend when they were dating and that was red flag number one and why I first didn’t like him. It’s not about your looks, it’s not about your size, if they don’t want to claim you for whatever bogus reason they make up - ITS THEM! He was ashamed that he was nearly 20 years her senior and was creepy. He could never take the supposed judgement, yet that didn’t stop him from marrying her and making the last two years of her life hell. Don’t entertain a clown who won’t shout your name from the rooftops. They’re the joke, not you!❤
I had a close friend in high school, who gradually started ditching me in favour of another friend. I told him very maturely that I missed our friendship and he proceeded to hand-make me a booklet titled: How To Handle Loss
I love the secret relationship "Let Him Go" song. It really should never have gotten to that point. Before she told him "bye" I know she's overweight and doesn't know her own worth, but she should have had more self respect than to put up with being the secret chick no one knows about.
Different people enjoy different amounts of salt. Some people WANT more salt but choose less salt, for health reasons. This is why LESS SALT IS THE CORRECT WAY TO SEASON FOOD YOU ARE SERVING TO OTHER PEOPLE. Guess what? You can always ADD SALT to YOUR OWN DISH. But you can't TAKE SALT AWAY when "Salt Boy" does the cooking to HIS standards. Low salt dinners. He should be THANKING HER for TAKING CARE OF HIS HEALTH. And then get a flippin' salt shaker.
The presentation trend is actually a thing in younger, tiktok-y circles. Friends do presentation nights on random topics, but it can get into "funny intervention" territory too. Probably saw it coming up on his for you page, found it funny and got carried away with it, and thought she'd go with it, but he was wrong. Clearly they're not on the same page.
yeah i definitely think he just thought it'd be cute or something. the first presentation is a severe misreading of the room, but something you can come back from by setting aside your ego and learning. he decided to try to be the next Adam Sandler and throw his entire relationship away for the sake of diminishing his girlfriend's feelings and committing to the bit. this is the same kind of logic that elementary school bullies use. "i think it's funny, so you're not allowed to be hurt by it!"
Uhhh nah this isn't an issue of them not being on the "same page." Yikes, dude. Everyone knows about the powerpoint trend (it's older than you're claiming). The issue is he did all that specifically to INSULT HER and he's acting like a victim because she didn't want to be insulted.
Speaking from seeing so many situations like the one described: for the mom wanting the picture with "just her kids", if she's not actively planning on leaving him, she's likely trying to maneuver things so "her kids" get more money (possibly all of it) in their will. Again, I've seen this happen multiple times.
It seems like the first guy wanted out of the relationship, but wanted to do it in a way that it was mutual. Just because of how little convincing it took to get him to pack up and move out.
With how much the first guy can't cook, I would've thought _"I've been taking notes"_ meant he'd been watching her do the meal in the hopes of being able to cook for her, which would've been cute.
Whenever I hear step-parent stories even remotely like this... it hits so close to home for me. While I wouldn't say that my step-dad and I are the closest, it was actually the easiest decision of my life to have him walk me down the isle when I got married and my biological father wasn't even invited. I met him when I was 7. Teenage years were a struggle, especially after he and my mom had kids. It was difficult not to feel a bit left out, but as an adult I know he did his best to NOT make me feel that way. For the longest time I had called him by his first name. The word 'Dad' for me had a negative connotation to it, so I didn't like using it. But when my oldest little sister called him by his first name once, I felt so bad, and it stuck with me that every single time I refered to him while talking to any of my sisters I called him 'Dad' or 'Daddy.' I was really sick many years ago, but couldn't afford to go to the doctor, and my step-dad picked up medicine for me, and when I thanked him it was the first time that I called him Dad directly to him on accident. I noticed, but I don't think he did at all. My Mom also doesn't think he noticed. But the fact that he didn't notice - made me happy. So, ever since I have called him Dad. It might have taken me nearly 20 years after meeting him, but I got there!! :'D
Man. Okay. So i AM a step mom, i have the majority of kids in our blended household due to previous (and abusive) relationships in my teen years. And im currently going through nasty challenges of divorce and custody battles to move on and give my current and loving partner the freedoms we both deserve in life. The first guy with the power points. It literally sounds like my ex-husband. Some people will resort to absolutely insane things just to degrade someone and get away with it. In my own experience it was consistent use of his "higher education" (something i wasn't even allowed to pursue) to gaslight and "philosophically" devalue any arguments against the treatment of myself and my children until i finally just had to walk out and abandon the entire relationship. The step mom isolating her step son is just. Disgusting. Honestly. And in my own experiences, sometimes, even comes from familial abuse outside of home For example my patner's mother likes to pretend that all children (not just my own) who arent biologically related to her dont deserve even christmas presents and she spent months refusing to acknowledge me or my kids until my patner(not previously mentioned ex) was fed up with it and told her if she wont recognize his step children as grandkids then she doesnt deserve any of them. To this day she hasnt met our shared child. and complains to my patner's siblings that im abusive for forcing a divide in this family, all while providing free childcare and financial assistance to his son's mother who openly abused both my partner and their child for years and still does. And finally, "that whales house" WHAT?! No. I have many fat friends who struggle with hundreds of self depreciated issues like that poor woman. And thank you so much Daniel for choosing to focus on the idea that she first and foremost deserves to feel healthy and well cared for. I grew up conventionally attractive and, unfortunately, have heard all sorts of ways other people with my "hotness level" (gross) will go out of thier way to make others feel absolutely horrid about themselves just for amusement. I never much tolerated that behavior in my social groups. But as a "certified hot girl," I've seen my share of slumber parties where the main event was to scheme different cruel ways to bully the fat kid in class that following monday or school events. These people not only exist but are usually surrounded by a social life that encourages behaviors like this. In my case specifically, it leads to nasty social isolation and even financial deprivation or familial abandonment. Even a decade later i feel actually guilty for pursuing childsupport from absent parents due to what they're willing to say and claim just to avoid even paying $50 a week sometimes. Add on to it that these were situations i was actively a minor in and being abused. Sometimes, i find myself unable to see a person in the mirror. Sometimes i question the validity of my own experiences and traumas, even with a psychiatrist, and a dedicated medical team helping me heal and uncover that abuse. Some things are so impactful that a full 9 years later you'll seek justice and peace and blame yourself for being a 17yo in a relationship with a 23yo. Blame yourself for the SA you recieved. And even find moments you think you deserved that abuse or abandonment and finacial withholding. I suppose my point in the end of all this is: these videos might come across as silly or humor at the crazy shit in this world. But its extremely important that people like myself are able to find a voice like yours speaking out agaisnt treatment like that. A voice thats going to loudly and strongly enforce self-protection. So please keep doing this series. It might seem dumb. But i am a vicitm to stories like this, and after watching this video my flashbacks today are slightly quieted
There is something about sharing in hard truths that brings peace, I think. Recognizing them for their reality in our lives and not dismissing them. Thanks for sharing some of your connections. I hope Daniel keeps doing these too.
I was always the "ugly sister" and fell victim to comparison bias with both my pretty sister and bff. Now I'm fat, ugly, and have debilitating chronic pain (it always existed, I just finally accepted how bad it is). You can be attractive, unattractive, fat, thin, tall, or short, and people will always find a way to tear you down to make them feel better about themselves. We didn't choose our bodies, genetics, or parents. Nobody did! So why do we have to treat some roll of the genetic dice like that is an entire person's worth? It's the spark of what is piloting the meatsuit that matters! You are the culmination of electrical impulses, the neurons that have been pruned and shaped in response to stimuli, the chemical messages that travel between those neurons, and whatever that ultimately combines into. Some call it your soul, but whatever you call it, that is the very essence of who you are. Why should it matter what the rest is? Why must we hurt others because that somehow matters to some small leftover impulse from before we had language to say, "This is me," and we had to rely on genetic fitness to survive? Why? It makes no sense to me.
If someone makes food for you and you want there to be a change: 1. Understand that you can literally cook your own meals 2. Understand that the other person is doing you a FAVOR 3. Say what you like about the meal so that might keep happening 4. Give a casual suggestion of what you want different (but with 0 expectation for it to actually happen, so it’s either business as usual or an unexpected surprise), and only ask if you’re close enough and you won’t sound ungrateful.
As someone who loves various seasoning, if I think someone else's cooking is too bland I'll sometimes make suggestions to try new things together that have a bit more flavor. Making the meals together can be bonding, fun, and both people can learn new things too. It doesn't always get them to use some seasoning, but it normally works. I've even made more flavorful meals by myself for friends, and family, just so they can try new flavors. People used to bland meals don't always enjoy the huge difference in flavors though. There was one person who cooked bland food because she wanted to make food that wouldn't be too much for some people, and wanted to avoid allergies too. Turned out she cooked flavorful meals for herself already. It's amazing what you can accomplish in gaining general satisfaction for everyone by working with them instead of complaining or critiquing.
My younger brother and older sister are only half siblings but I've never seen or called them anything but my siblings. We lived together and we were raised together our whole lives. They will never be my "half" siblings, because they ARE my brother and sister.
Surprise microphone surprises me more than movies with supposed twist endings The only other thing to rival is the placement of Max Fosh’s sponsorships
My son had a stepmother who would walk around him in just a tshirt and panties at night. I explained to him that some people sleep that way and that she was probably just downstairs to get a drink and assumed he was asleep (he slept on the couch when he was at her house) He said that wasn’t the case because she would pour herself wine and chat with him. I bought her a robe for Christmas the next year. Some people just shouldn’t be parents. 13:34
I was looking for a comment on the grapes loll There's actually red grapes and purple grapes (and green, of course). Personally, the purple grapes are my favorite
I don't know if you realise how much I and people like me, which there have to be some, are grateful for this kind of your reddit vids, Daniel - I mean the ones where you create not one, but multiple music pieces/themes for the stories you present... I love these with my whole heart! Thank you so much!! 💚 And I must mention, I'm devastated about the last person's take on their worth and their life and everything. Unspeakable. 💔💔💔
At about 20:00, someone in my family(large person) went to the doctor and they told her that she could not eat for a week and medically be fine, because of how slow she metabolizes. It is probably something like that.
17:45 Ooh unfortunately there are a lot of guys who are too ashamed to date a fat girl. Higher chance if their whole thing is fitness. They'll have secret relationships with fat girls because they're attracted to them and they know they'll probably be desperate for attention as well. It sucks. That's never happened to me as a chubby/bigger girl, thankfully, but it makes my anxiety so much worse knowing it could and I might not realise it right away
The "my kids " thing hits home. I have one half sibling, same mom, different dads. I never knew my dad, my younger siblings father was my step dad, and only dad I ever knew. Around the time i was 8, mom and step-dad got divorced, and later step dad's new wife would not allow me to visit along with my sibling during step dad's visitations weekends because I wasn't his kid. This after about a year of us both visiting before he remarried. As an adult it's ancient history, but as a child, devastating. Too young to process the complexity of being cut out, twice fatherless and essentially rejected.
it makes me so sad with the secret relationship one that you can see the OPs internalized fatphobia OOZING out of her wording :( whatever she'd like to do with her body is absolutely her choice, but she should be making those choices for good reasons, not because she thinks she's ugly. fat and ugly are not synonymous. that has nothing to do with the problem as a whole but it just made me kinda sad. EDs are no joke and i really hope she can find some therapy and slowly work out of that stuff
One of your song fragments from an older episode keeps getting stuck in my head, and I live with the knowledge that there's no full version out there. Edit: And now "You deserve it all" is on that list. Dammit, why do you have to be so _good_ at this, Daniel?!
My boyfriend and I have been stuck in this on and off again relationship for a while. It's really funny that your two songs made me gain more confidence and self compassion than anything else. Haha Honestly, though- thank you
We keep our onions in the fridge! It actually keeps you from crying if they’re cold. Food Theory did a whole episode on chopping onions and I think they found refrigeration was the best way to keep from crying.
My bf is also the chopper and I'm the ensembler/cooker. He tells me to just tell him what I need him to do lol. Neither of us love to cook, but this makes it much more enjoyable for both of us. We are both happy with this arrangement. I think he likes my cooking more than I do though lol.
Try chilling the onions before you chop them. That has helped for me. Normally, I'm one of those people who have to be at least 30 feet away from onions, or I WILL cry, even in another room, if there is ANY airflow between them. But COLD onions don't seem to do it, as much. I've also heard that chopping them under running (cold) water helps, but that sounds dangerous. I DO know that rubbing salt on your hands after dealing with onions will help take the juice off them, so you salt your hands, scrub, rinse well and you can finally touch your eyes, again. Oh, and one more thing to help with onions: LEAVE THE BASE ATTACHED. Don't chop off both ends and then chop. Cut off the pointy root part, and cut the onion in half, top to bottom, so you have a flat surface. Then, with the sproingy tufts at the top still attached, you chop up the rest of the onion, working closer and closer to that base of the greens, until you can't get any closer. That will, somehow, make it less eye-watering. I've done it, and it worked for me. I have no idea WHY, but it worked for me. Good luck with onions!
I checked out the step parent post, having grown up with an abusive step mother I could relate. Shit got crazy. Good news apparently the step mother made an effort to be better to the kid, and they started playing video games together after school. Bad news the OP is actually some crazy misogynist pos. He was insulting female commenters and saying weird things like “women belong in cages.” It got weird on that posts if anyone was looking for an update.
okay i'll be real if i was op one i'd absolutely laugh at him pulling up a SECOND powerpoint about "how to take a joke" just for the sheer absurdity of it all. it's like something right out of a sitcom.
Maybe I’m weird but personally, as a home cook, I’d be tickled pink by a PowerPoint, though it seems to have dipped into derogatory instead of constructive by the end, but in concept I love it, I want to improve and if there’s something you think would improve the meal I’d love to hear it a lot of my cooking is about experimentation and evolution, obviously there’s some expectation of cordiality since I’m cooking your meal, both from this is a favor and I control what goes in your food. But the fact that someone would care enough and know me well enough to make a PowerPoint, I’d sit there with rapt attention and a notepad. Again this case is bad but in concept I would enjoy it though I've noticed most people are more touchy about their cooking being critiqued
He committed to the bit, so he can't be mad that she joined in. The break-up power point is chef's kiss.
The whole thing reads as fake tbh
For sure feels fake
Hey man! Spoilers!
Looks like he couldn't take a joke.
He did tho@@spiderfart420
"ToO mUch gArlic" Oh excuse me, Mr. Dracula.
There’s no such thing
Good for the heart!
all jokes aside, I was cooking a meal I wanted to try when my roommate (who's more experienced in cooking than me) added way too much garlic. It hurt my mouth and the other two roommates and I really didn't like it and couldn't even finish bowl. I think since then I just haven't had the same love for it and it makes me sad.
"Too much garlic."
That doesnt even make sense.
What would you say if someone cooked for you and actually put in too much garlic?
Funnily enough, there was actually at least one other update for the powerpoint story, but idk if she ever put it in an official update or if it was in the comments. But the guy ended up getting massively made fun of at his job cause one of his coworkers found out about the reddit story and they figured out it was him. So that's pretty funny. His legacy at his job will forever just be the powerpoint guy, and he can't run away from his legacy.
That will be a nice reminder not to be a patronizing ass to his next girlfriend. If he finds one that is. Absolutely love your style btw 🫢
This series has become unreasonably important to me.
Honestly same
I literally just woke up (European) and I was thinking: "Man, I wish Daniel uploaded", and he did. I immediately made a bowl of cereal to eat while watching this.
I have to agree
Terminally online mf
Relatable
As much as an asshole as the first guy is, that is hilarious out of context.
The first bf making a whole Powerpoint telling her to 'take a joke' pissed me off sm. That's some immature sibling shit, not behaviour from a grown adult in a commited relationship
Say it with me kids:
Weaponized incompetence
It is also a very dumb move, why would you be annoying to your endearing one? Some people never got the memo of how much people love answering questions and demonstrating passions lol
yeah
My husband lies, and tells me every meal I cook is the best he's ever had. Even the 1/100 meals I see him visibly struggling, "Nope, honey, it's fantastic."
We are very happily married. ♥
A meal made with love is always a well-made meal :)
I love that for you, but I'd suggest working on improving your cooking skills a little if some of your food has him struggling to eat. If it's not your skills, and just something he doesn't like, maybe try to limit making those specific meals. I'm not suggesting that just so you can "please your man better," I'm suggesting it because he's showing you he cares despite it being something he doesn't like, so you should return the favor. The small things matter in both directions. It sounds like you have a keeper, so making small changes to keep him happy is smart.
*I'm so trying not to sound like an azz while writing this, and I'm not sure it's coming off that way. Just know it's meant as friendly advice, not some you need to do better type of spiel.
Nah this is terrible advice, my father does the same with my mother, and guess what? My mother hasn't felt the need to improve in decades. Its pretty much lying to preserve someones potential feelings. The best course is thanking for the meal, saying your honest enjoyement of it, and asking if the cook wants any constructive criticism, politetly. If they don't want to hear criticism then thats fine.
Fuck this lying shallo politeness shit. Me and my wife follow this rule for almost anything in our lives, not just cooking, to actually improve and grow. (I do most of the cooking and I'm constantly asking for feedback to improve)
Happy for you both!
@@martibee8984girl....
The second story is weird. He says he yelled at his wife but doesn’t report what she said in reply. He’s concerned about this photo but not the last eight years of neglect. Weird.
It's probably just AI generated story to farm reddit karma, it happens a lot on AITA subreddit. People don't even bother to make up their own stories anymore and use ChatGPT to write for them lol
It's probably a thinly veiled admission that he's been observing this behavior for a while now, but just didn't want to ruin his new family life by speaking up; this incident was just the straw that's breaking the camels' back.
I was about to see if anyone said this. Like only now you are concerned? Even tho you’ve been with her for 8yrs? It doesn’t sound like this is a new and sudden change in her behavior so why is it only a problem….now…?
@@lauracapper3807yea that got me thinking too. 0-5 are fundamental years for a persons growth and development to be the best adult version of themselves. to think that this poor child has been neglected for the most important developmental years is just horrible
in the comments he makes a lot of weird statements, such as, “women belong in cages”
PowerPoint presentation over food is crazy.
Lol that SO never happened. SO made up.
@@AnsatsuninYOU don't know that 😂
@@AnsatsuninI've seen weirder
@@AnsatsuninI made a power point for my parents when I wanted a dog. I was 8 and thought it was hilarious. Have you ever heard the phrase “some people never grow up”. Man-children exist everywhere dude.
I was miffed about having to make powerpoint presentations in my literal InfoTech class in school lmao what would possess someone to make them willingly in their 30s for fun??
21:43 this went unbelievably hard, feels like it deserves a full song
Came here to make sure I wasn’t alone in thinking this
@@stylishlyheartless979 correct!
Yesss please Daniel
For real
Omg it was beautiful!
2:18 Men, I'm sorry if I am the first to tell you this; if you are the only person laughing at your joke, it wasn't very good.
I did not expect the second presentation.
Unless it's a pun
@@lizzienora678At that point it went from horrible to ao absurd that I couldn't take it seriously. I almost wish he showed a third presentation after she broke up with him.
I tell my kids that if they think they're funny or having a good time but the other person/people aren't having fun then they are just a bully. It's crazy how many adults didn't realize they were a bully the whole time 😑
I am regularly the only person laughing at my jokes, but that's because I tell really dumb jokes to amuse myself.
I'll never understand why some people find cruelty amusing.
10:27 This poor boy must have had such a rough childhood. There is no way this is the first time she has been this terrible.
i immediately lose all trust in people who say things like "too much garlic"
Right? The concept of "too much garlic" doesn't exist in my world🤣
Last night I used an entire head of garlic in some chicken. It was not too much, but I didn't cook it for long enough so it was too strong. Next time I do the same recipe (and I will) I will cook the garlic for longer. Edit: The garlic -- I didn't cook the garlic enough. The chicken was done!
6:04 He could have totally made a joke presentation that was poking fun at himself, like "how to put your foot in your mouth" or one of how he fricked up. That would have been funnier and kinder
The second presentation is crazy 💀
It's genuinely insane how the first presentation was one of the most unfunny bits I've ever heard of, but the reveal he had a second, even more condescending presentation as a reaction to her inevitable anger towards the first presentation might be, purely timing-wise, one of the most incredible comedic twists I've seen this year.
OMG the song at the end.... we need a full version with heartfelt music video
Seriously, when's the album coming out???
“Why would you alienate one child?” Umm…bc that’s what abusers do! They typically single out 1, maybe 2 children to direct all their abuse towards. Especially in a step parent/kid situation. That way, the other kids will likely not tell another adult about such abuse, bc it’s not happening to them-they’ll even get the other kids to join in. The stepparent will give all their love & attention to their own kids, but treat the step kids terribly. Even “natural” parents do this with their “natural” children. It’s so mean & destructive to all their psyches .😢
So true. My family was "all natural" (as far as I know) but golden child/scapegoat dynamic is still so real. It's literally the "one child gets a car for Christmas while the other gets a broken toy from Salvation Army" bit. All children deserve loving parents, but not all parents deserve to have children
Disney built an entire business model around it.
Very true. This happened to my ex. She was abused in every awful way by her piece of shit dad but she doesn't remember her ever laying a hand on her brother and the ministry somehow decided it was fine to return both kids to them (except her father refused to let her come home after she "betrayed him") so she got out at 15 but he literally broke her capacity to have a healthy, loving relationship.
I hope this kid isn't suffering worse than the story indicates but, as someone who has been in therapy for 3 years straight and still finds everything coming back for abandonment/rejection issues, neglect, even emotional, is no joke either. He's my son's age. You know what? She probably hasn't ignored him for 8 years. She probably played with him when he was a "fun age" and op is only seeing this now. That's how it seemed with my step mom. She played with us a lot when we were little but when we were 7 and our little brother was born 🤷
@@tomwesdorp9043 Wait, what do you mean?
I'm fine hearing opinions, not every dish I make is "the best," but a full on presentation would piss me off so much.
I think there's a healthy difference between having a preference in food and treating a partner like a slave. You can have a preference in food, but you should be wiling to either fulfill it yourself or (if you can't cook) order a take out that both of you will like. Partner who never contributes to cooking or serving meals has no say in their taste imho.
Presentation is wiiiild, just be grateful bro. My friends gf cooked for us and I was literally tearing up over how much spice she put in it but honestly it warmed my heart that she took the time and effort.
My bf accidentally slipped and dropped the jar of chili powder in the chicken and peppers for tacos. He can tolerate a lot of spice, but I have a hypersensitive nervous system and I had tears running down my face..."No, Babe, it wasn't bad! A bit stronger than I'd typically eat, but tasted good!" First meal he cooked for me. He remembered it like two years later and it finally hit him and he asked me, he was like, "Remember that? Ya know, it was even a bit spicy for me, so omg you must've been dying! Why didn't you say something?!" What else was I gonna eat when that was what he had in the freezer and the fridge was empty? No doordash out in the country either. You appreciate what was made for you. Even if it burns.
Re: "this is clearly fake, right?" Nah. People are crazy. Just when you think you've seen it all, somebody will drop that bar lower than it has ever been before. I know. I worked retail for 5 years. I still have nightmares.
Not only is one meal a week dangerously unhealthy, it also won't help you lose weight, your body will actually hold onto whatever fat you've got for dear life
this is what many people dont get about eating disorders. often, the body will even put on weight to desperately hold onto the little energy you give it, before breaking down **everything**. it doesn't just magically dissapear.
I don't know, I lost way too much and too rapidly just by not eating most of the day (just eating one real meal a day) I actually don't recommend it.
@@sandcat2327yeah and it isn't just during the eating disorder either it can be very hard to recover because you slowed down your metabolism to the point that going back can make you gain the weight all back or even gain more. It's not a fix for your weight at all not even temporarily and anorexia is one of the deadliest mental health conditions there is. It's so dangerous for you. I hope that girl finds a healthy way to lose weight and learns to love her body at any size
Just a little advice that helped me loose 20 Ibs: The way to healthily loose weight is to not just eat healthier, but also excersize too. Intermittent fasting helps too. You basically eat for only eight hours a day and fast for 16. You aren't eating less but you are helping your body's metabolism by switching it to burning fat instead of muscle
Yes it's dangerous BUT the idea that sever sustained caloric deficit doesn't lead to weight loss is just untrue - if you maintain activity levels the body WILL break down any fat stores for energy. That's literally the function of fat storage, to use as fuel when food is scarce.
The idea that it 'doesn't work' is that it doesn't address the assumed underlying attitudes toward eating and exercise that lead to being overweight in the first place, because MOST people have bad baseline habits and return to those with no change when they hit their goal weight, which undoes the weight loss
12:27 My parents got a divorce when I was 7 and I grew up with 4 amazing parents. I am so lucky that my step parents love me like I am their own flesh and blood, and I cannot even imagine how painful this rejection is. It's very clear she does not want to see him as her child too.
I'm in the four parent club too! Never once did either step parent make me feel like I was any less than their children. I hate to hear how uncommon that is.
Look I was prepared for the surprise microphone but the surprise disappearing act really got me.
Please please PLEASE make a full length version of that “you deserve it all” song at the end. It’s a banger and would be a great song to listen to in order to uplift myself when I feel down.
That poor girl at the end... I hope she is doing better and still going to therapy, can be hard to stick to starting out
The last story is one of those that starts off pretty innocuous and then explodes in the updates what the hell
Ok, can we just have a compilation of all the Songs Daniel has made? Because Dude…your music is fantastic, every time it makes me smile.

There is NEVER too much garlic. That man needs to stop being a jerk and learn how to cook for himself
I once ate garlic chutney (the equivelant of salsa for americans) made by a Kathiawadi family from a rural are, I pooped half a dozen times that night, we make a 'for lesser men' version of it every now and then. 100/10, would recommend
"Least compatible couples"
You've never met my parents
Really glad the last person is in therapy. The "he's really attractive and I'm fat" comment just bums me out. Being fat does not make you unattractive. Fat is not a bad word.
Hoping for the best for her in the future. Ugh.
It’s so common dude. Similarly in my life I’ve had women be shocked that I’d be in to them. Well to be honest, most of them are shocked. Not that I’m some Gyllenhaal, it’s just how women are treated most of the time. Even good men have horribly unrealistic standards of beauty, while being delusional about their own. It’s easy to be a hot guy, take care of yourself; exercise, wash your body, keep groomed (hair/beard), use deodorant, cologne, and wear clean clothes. And if you have a job, you’re a catch! Women are expected to be a certain size, dress a certain way, wear a specific amount of makeup (??????), and all because men just can’t live without the ‘perfect woman’. To summarize; we gotta be better.
@@Nffyr From my experience, women aren't too keen on the men whose standards are so low that it's basically "is alive", but that's a whole other thing.
@@Nffyr Seriously, as a makeup free fat lady who hasn't considered herself pretty...ever? Or at least since my high school anorexia days, thank you. Fat women are so marginalized. Even fat men are more accepted in society because they can't cook, they like sweets, or "Hey, he can't help it! Cut him some slack!" "Dad bod" is sexy, but "mom bod?" Ew. Could anyone ever picture someone saying that to a fat woman? "Cut her some slack!" Not happening. Yeah, I'm disabled (chronic pain) and sedentary, but I also have hypothyroidism which makes significant weight loss very difficult if you don't run a marathon a day. I was very active in college, took gym classes and exercised, and was still overweight. And the fact that I felt I had to explain and justify that to you now is crazy. I can't just be what I am, much less who I am. When I was on dating apps I'd have conventionally attractive, fit guys mutually match with me just for them to say, "Yeah, you're fat and ugly. I don't do fat chicks." Bruh, why'd you match with me then? To bully me?
So, no, I'm good. I don't need a partner. I have cats, so I'm the "middle aged (spinster) crazy cat lady!" My cats love me, understand how I'm feeling, one even alerts me to oncoming migraines and stays on me purring and sleeping with his head nuzzled into my hand on the worst days, and I didn't train him or anything, and cats don't degrade me or treat me like less than because I'm fat. They don't care! I don't even like using the word fat to describe myself, it's unacceptable! Women have to be called curvy, pleasantly plump, heavy, big beautiful women, etc because we have to be fetishized to be acceptable. Society has deemed that the worst thing a woman can be is fat, and nobody cares if you're kind, caring, sensitive, giving, and someone who loves to make others smile. If you're fat, then none of that matters. It becomes "excuses" for why you being fat is okay.
I'm not desirable, I know. Just don't throw it in my face and remind me. Let me live my life in peace. Or that's what I'd like to tell them.
@@Nffyr Guys like you give me hope that there are still good guys out there. Thank you.

Listen yall, everyone deserves to be in a relationship where their partner is PROUD to be seen with them. My sister looked like a SUPER MODEL but her ex hubby was never willing to acknowledge her as his girlfriend when they were dating and that was red flag number one and why I first didn’t like him. It’s not about your looks, it’s not about your size, if they don’t want to claim you for whatever bogus reason they make up - ITS THEM! He was ashamed that he was nearly 20 years her senior and was creepy. He could never take the supposed judgement, yet that didn’t stop him from marrying her and making the last two years of her life hell. Don’t entertain a clown who won’t shout your name from the rooftops. They’re the joke, not you!❤
"You deserve it all" 😢❤ staaaahhhhpppp, you're making my mascara run.
I had a close friend in high school, who gradually started ditching me in favour of another friend. I told him very maturely that I missed our friendship and he proceeded to hand-make me a booklet titled: How To Handle Loss
bruh
I love the secret relationship "Let Him Go" song. It really should never have gotten to that point. Before she told him "bye" I know she's overweight and doesn't know her own worth, but she should have had more self respect than to put up with being the secret chick no one knows about.
Different people enjoy different amounts of salt. Some people WANT more salt but choose less salt, for health reasons.
This is why LESS SALT IS THE CORRECT WAY TO SEASON FOOD YOU ARE SERVING TO OTHER PEOPLE. Guess what? You can always ADD SALT to YOUR OWN DISH. But you can't TAKE SALT AWAY when "Salt Boy" does the cooking to HIS standards.
Low salt dinners. He should be THANKING HER for TAKING CARE OF HIS HEALTH. And then get a flippin' salt shaker.
The presentation trend is actually a thing in younger, tiktok-y circles. Friends do presentation nights on random topics, but it can get into "funny intervention" territory too. Probably saw it coming up on his for you page, found it funny and got carried away with it, and thought she'd go with it, but he was wrong. Clearly they're not on the same page.
yeah i definitely think he just thought it'd be cute or something. the first presentation is a severe misreading of the room, but something you can come back from by setting aside your ego and learning. he decided to try to be the next Adam Sandler and throw his entire relationship away for the sake of diminishing his girlfriend's feelings and committing to the bit. this is the same kind of logic that elementary school bullies use. "i think it's funny, so you're not allowed to be hurt by it!"
Uhhh nah this isn't an issue of them not being on the "same page." Yikes, dude. Everyone knows about the powerpoint trend (it's older than you're claiming). The issue is he did all that specifically to INSULT HER and he's acting like a victim because she didn't want to be insulted.
@@jijitters he can be a jerk and not be on the same page, "dude", Chill out.

Speaking from seeing so many situations like the one described: for the mom wanting the picture with "just her kids", if she's not actively planning on leaving him, she's likely trying to maneuver things so "her kids" get more money (possibly all of it) in their will. Again, I've seen this happen multiple times.
It seems like the first guy wanted out of the relationship, but wanted to do it in a way that it was mutual. Just because of how little convincing it took to get him to pack up and move out.
With how much the first guy can't cook, I would've thought _"I've been taking notes"_ meant he'd been watching her do the meal in the hopes of being able to cook for her, which would've been cute.
Whenever I hear step-parent stories even remotely like this... it hits so close to home for me. While I wouldn't say that my step-dad and I are the closest, it was actually the easiest decision of my life to have him walk me down the isle when I got married and my biological father wasn't even invited.
I met him when I was 7. Teenage years were a struggle, especially after he and my mom had kids. It was difficult not to feel a bit left out, but as an adult I know he did his best to NOT make me feel that way.
For the longest time I had called him by his first name. The word 'Dad' for me had a negative connotation to it, so I didn't like using it. But when my oldest little sister called him by his first name once, I felt so bad, and it stuck with me that every single time I refered to him while talking to any of my sisters I called him 'Dad' or 'Daddy.' I was really sick many years ago, but couldn't afford to go to the doctor, and my step-dad picked up medicine for me, and when I thanked him it was the first time that I called him Dad directly to him on accident. I noticed, but I don't think he did at all. My Mom also doesn't think he noticed. But the fact that he didn't notice - made me happy. So, ever since I have called him Dad. It might have taken me nearly 20 years after meeting him, but I got there!! :'D
8:40 red grapes are a thing. Granted, they’re still purpley redish but that is what they’re called
Man. Okay. So i AM a step mom, i have the majority of kids in our blended household due to previous (and abusive) relationships in my teen years. And im currently going through nasty challenges of divorce and custody battles to move on and give my current and loving partner the freedoms we both deserve in life.
The first guy with the power points. It literally sounds like my ex-husband. Some people will resort to absolutely insane things just to degrade someone and get away with it. In my own experience it was consistent use of his "higher education" (something i wasn't even allowed to pursue) to gaslight and "philosophically" devalue any arguments against the treatment of myself and my children until i finally just had to walk out and abandon the entire relationship.
The step mom isolating her step son is just. Disgusting. Honestly. And in my own experiences, sometimes, even comes from familial abuse outside of home
For example my patner's mother likes to pretend that all children (not just my own) who arent biologically related to her dont deserve even christmas presents and she spent months refusing to acknowledge me or my kids until my patner(not previously mentioned ex) was fed up with it and told her if she wont recognize his step children as grandkids then she doesnt deserve any of them. To this day she hasnt met our shared child. and complains to my patner's siblings that im abusive for forcing a divide in this family, all while providing free childcare and financial assistance to his son's mother who openly abused both my partner and their child for years and still does.
And finally, "that whales house" WHAT?! No. I have many fat friends who struggle with hundreds of self depreciated issues like that poor woman. And thank you so much Daniel for choosing to focus on the idea that she first and foremost deserves to feel healthy and well cared for. I grew up conventionally attractive and, unfortunately, have heard all sorts of ways other people with my "hotness level" (gross) will go out of thier way to make others feel absolutely horrid about themselves just for amusement. I never much tolerated that behavior in my social groups. But as a "certified hot girl," I've seen my share of slumber parties where the main event was to scheme different cruel ways to bully the fat kid in class that following monday or school events.
These people not only exist but are usually surrounded by a social life that encourages behaviors like this. In my case specifically, it leads to nasty social isolation and even financial deprivation or familial abandonment. Even a decade later i feel actually guilty for pursuing childsupport from absent parents due to what they're willing to say and claim just to avoid even paying $50 a week sometimes. Add on to it that these were situations i was actively a minor in and being abused. Sometimes, i find myself unable to see a person in the mirror. Sometimes i question the validity of my own experiences and traumas, even with a psychiatrist, and a dedicated medical team helping me heal and uncover that abuse. Some things are so impactful that a full 9 years later you'll seek justice and peace and blame yourself for being a 17yo in a relationship with a 23yo. Blame yourself for the SA you recieved. And even find moments you think you deserved that abuse or abandonment and finacial withholding.
I suppose my point in the end of all this is: these videos might come across as silly or humor at the crazy shit in this world. But its extremely important that people like myself are able to find a voice like yours speaking out agaisnt treatment like that. A voice thats going to loudly and strongly enforce self-protection. So please keep doing this series. It might seem dumb. But i am a vicitm to stories like this, and after watching this video my flashbacks today are slightly quieted
There is something about sharing in hard truths that brings peace, I think. Recognizing them for their reality in our lives and not dismissing them. Thanks for sharing some of your connections. I hope Daniel keeps doing these too.
I was always the "ugly sister" and fell victim to comparison bias with both my pretty sister and bff. Now I'm fat, ugly, and have debilitating chronic pain (it always existed, I just finally accepted how bad it is). You can be attractive, unattractive, fat, thin, tall, or short, and people will always find a way to tear you down to make them feel better about themselves. We didn't choose our bodies, genetics, or parents. Nobody did! So why do we have to treat some roll of the genetic dice like that is an entire person's worth? It's the spark of what is piloting the meatsuit that matters! You are the culmination of electrical impulses, the neurons that have been pruned and shaped in response to stimuli, the chemical messages that travel between those neurons, and whatever that ultimately combines into. Some call it your soul, but whatever you call it, that is the very essence of who you are. Why should it matter what the rest is? Why must we hurt others because that somehow matters to some small leftover impulse from before we had language to say, "This is me," and we had to rely on genetic fitness to survive? Why? It makes no sense to me.
Daniel droppin bangers on the regular like a man who eats his fiber is regular.
I 100% believe the powerpoint story. I knew someone who would ABSOLUTELY do that and react the exact way that boyfriend did 😭
That last song, though 🥹 When he belted out "You deserve it all" I really felt that.
If someone makes food for you and you want there to be a change:
1. Understand that you can literally cook your own meals
2. Understand that the other person is doing you a FAVOR
3. Say what you like about the meal so that might keep happening
4. Give a casual suggestion of what you want different (but with 0 expectation for it to actually happen, so it’s either business as usual or an unexpected surprise), and only ask if you’re close enough and you won’t sound ungrateful.
As someone who loves various seasoning, if I think someone else's cooking is too bland I'll sometimes make suggestions to try new things together that have a bit more flavor. Making the meals together can be bonding, fun, and both people can learn new things too. It doesn't always get them to use some seasoning, but it normally works. I've even made more flavorful meals by myself for friends, and family, just so they can try new flavors. People used to bland meals don't always enjoy the huge difference in flavors though. There was one person who cooked bland food because she wanted to make food that wouldn't be too much for some people, and wanted to avoid allergies too. Turned out she cooked flavorful meals for herself already. It's amazing what you can accomplish in gaining general satisfaction for everyone by working with them instead of complaining or critiquing.
The last song is actually really sweet I want an album length version.
My younger brother and older sister are only half siblings but I've never seen or called them anything but my siblings. We lived together and we were raised together our whole lives. They will never be my "half" siblings, because they ARE my brother and sister.

“You Deserve It All” is actually so majestic
I can’t believe these stories are real, they are so outrageous.

Omg. You ATE with this one!
One of the things I’ve been craving is more of your songs and we got three total bangers??? HELL YEAH!!
My son had a stepmother who would walk around him in just a tshirt and panties at night. I explained to him that some people sleep that way and that she was probably just downstairs to get a drink and assumed he was asleep (he slept on the couch when he was at her house) He said that wasn’t the case because she would pour herself wine and chat with him. I bought her a robe for Christmas the next year. Some people just shouldn’t be parents. 13:34

At about 20:00, someone in my family(large person) went to the doctor and they told her that she could not eat for a week and medically be fine, because of how slow she metabolizes. It is probably something like that.
I'd love to hear more about this because I've been eating under 1500 calories a day(sometimes under 1,000) and haven't been losing weight at all
17:45
Ooh unfortunately there are a lot of guys who are too ashamed to date a fat girl. Higher chance if their whole thing is fitness. They'll have secret relationships with fat girls because they're attracted to them and they know they'll probably be desperate for attention as well. It sucks.
That's never happened to me as a chubby/bigger girl, thankfully, but it makes my anxiety so much worse knowing it could and I might not realise it right away
That last song has great potential. I'd like to hear more of it.
The "my kids " thing hits home. I have one half sibling, same mom, different dads. I never knew my dad, my younger siblings father was my step dad, and only dad I ever knew. Around the time i was 8, mom and step-dad got divorced, and later step dad's new wife would not allow me to visit along with my sibling during step dad's visitations weekends because I wasn't his kid. This after about a year of us both visiting before he remarried. As an adult it's ancient history, but as a child, devastating. Too young to process the complexity of being cut out, twice fatherless and essentially rejected.
Did you ever tell him how it made you feel?
it makes me so sad with the secret relationship one that you can see the OPs internalized fatphobia OOZING out of her wording :( whatever she'd like to do with her body is absolutely her choice, but she should be making those choices for good reasons, not because she thinks she's ugly. fat and ugly are not synonymous.
that has nothing to do with the problem as a whole but it just made me kinda sad. EDs are no joke and i really hope she can find some therapy and slowly work out of that stuff
Daniel we're all begging you, just release a full album already
One of your song fragments from an older episode keeps getting stuck in my head, and I live with the knowledge that there's no full version out there.
Edit: And now "You deserve it all" is on that list. Dammit, why do you have to be so _good_ at this, Daniel?!
I lost it at the surprise microphone, disappearance. 🤣
MAKE “YOU DESERVE IT ALL” A FULL SONG. I NEED THIS SONG. MAKE IT HAPPEN. Pls
The weaponized incompetence is killing me
My boyfriend and I have been stuck in this on and off again relationship for a while. It's really funny that your two songs made me gain more confidence and self compassion than anything else. Haha
Honestly, though- thank you
I know I'm not alone in thinking that last song was amazing and deserves a full version. I wanted to add that it also almost made me cry.
11:56 Divorce for sure. This is a difference in values, and that poor boy 😢
We keep our onions in the fridge! It actually keeps you from crying if they’re cold. Food Theory did a whole episode on chopping onions and I think they found refrigeration was the best way to keep from crying.
I loved the amount of music in this one. Especially that song in the end ❤
The first ever “surprise microphone” I’ve been actually surprised with 😅
My bf is also the chopper and I'm the ensembler/cooker. He tells me to just tell him what I need him to do lol. Neither of us love to cook, but this makes it much more enjoyable for both of us. We are both happy with this arrangement. I think he likes my cooking more than I do though lol.
Lmao, there ARE red grapes. They are the best. 😂
Great video. Thx! 🙏
9:28 this would make a perfect animated emote for comedians in chat 💯
Right on time for me to play while I go to bed
Try chilling the onions before you chop them. That has helped for me.
Normally, I'm one of those people who have to be at least 30 feet away from onions, or I WILL cry, even in another room, if there is ANY airflow between them.
But COLD onions don't seem to do it, as much.
I've also heard that chopping them under running (cold) water helps, but that sounds dangerous.
I DO know that rubbing salt on your hands after dealing with onions will help take the juice off them, so you salt your hands, scrub, rinse well and you can finally touch your eyes, again.
Oh, and one more thing to help with onions: LEAVE THE BASE ATTACHED. Don't chop off both ends and then chop. Cut off the pointy root part, and cut the onion in half, top to bottom, so you have a flat surface. Then, with the sproingy tufts at the top still attached, you chop up the rest of the onion, working closer and closer to that base of the greens, until you can't get any closer. That will, somehow, make it less eye-watering. I've done it, and it worked for me. I have no idea WHY, but it worked for me.
Good luck with onions!
No cap, the more relationship nightmares you share Daniel the happier I am as a single woman.
I checked out the step parent post, having grown up with an abusive step mother I could relate. Shit got crazy. Good news apparently the step mother made an effort to be better to the kid, and they started playing video games together after school. Bad news the OP is actually some crazy misogynist pos. He was insulting female commenters and saying weird things like “women belong in cages.” It got weird on that posts if anyone was looking for an update.
I just LOOVE the musical numbers! I wish you would make a compilation someday...
okay i'll be real if i was op one i'd absolutely laugh at him pulling up a SECOND powerpoint about "how to take a joke" just for the sheer absurdity of it all. it's like something right out of a sitcom.
Maybe I’m weird but personally, as a home cook, I’d be tickled pink by a PowerPoint, though it seems to have dipped into derogatory instead of constructive by the end, but in concept I love it, I want to improve and if there’s something you think would improve the meal I’d love to hear it a lot of my cooking is about experimentation and evolution, obviously there’s some expectation of cordiality since I’m cooking your meal, both from this is a favor and I control what goes in your food. But the fact that someone would care enough and know me well enough to make a PowerPoint, I’d sit there with rapt attention and a notepad. Again this case is bad but in concept I would enjoy it though I've noticed most people are more touchy about their cooking being critiqued
yeah couldda been ok if he'd also included things he liked and been less insulting about it
@@kilian-one-l Agreed broadly I’m cool with the idea but the man was a deuce and ran with it
Can we *please* get a full version of "you deserve it all". Sounds like a powersong to me.
Are those cherries?? 😂😂😂😂😂 Dying.
That song at the end was so good wtheck
